I call these evolutions refinements. A few more here, pardon the bandwidth:
`1 - It was unspecified but the 4 tag bits can have 16 values, 1 for this protocol. The availability of 15 other protocols is a feature for open-source development. `2 - a header is easily defined for different transports and networks. `3 - the header of a FEC message is separately FEC encoded and interleaved with RS(15,9), so 30 bytes for the msgSpec and header, followed by the rsMode specified FEC encoding of the payload, padded out from msgSize.
thank you, robert

I updated with all the feedback and here is a version 1.0 pdf specification. I appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have for this.

More, sorry. I left out the msgSize in the FEC spec. Let me reorder the tagging, fit the 3 bytes of normal msgSpec into 4bytes and thusly...
---Default non-FEC msgSpec + header + payload layout:
- 8bytes (X) messageSpecification...
- (32bits...)
- 4bits tagging
- 6bits multicastSymbol
- 6bits messageVersion
- 2bits sanguinity
- 6bits headerType "Implies Y header size. NOTE: except for FEC
encodings"
- 8bits unused
- (32bits...)
- 4bytes messageSize (X+Y+Z) (Z bytes = (messageSize - headerSize(Y)
- 8bytes msgSpec (X = 8))
- Ybytes message header
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ywu9pjxrfvg1hys/FrameTypes.pdf?dl=0
- Zbytes message payload
Special FEC coded 64bit <msgSpec + header> + payload layout, for 64bit alignment:
- 8bytes (X) message specification...
- (32bits...)
- 4bits tagging
- 6bits multicastSymbol
- 6bits messageVersion
- 2bits sanguinity
- 6bits FEC message type "NOTE: this means different layout"
- 2bits rsMode
- 6bits partial blockCount
- (32bits...)
- 4bits blockCount "NOTE: for 1MB encoded/982KB data -
blockCount * blockCodeBytes = Z"
- 20bits messageSize (X+Y+Z) (Z bytes = (messageSize - headerSize(Y)
- 8bytes msgSpec (X = 8)) "NOTE: this can specify 1MB data"
- 8bits primitivePolynomial spec (good for our current rsModes)
- Y = 0
- Zbytes-sized payload
Ok, that's what it is I think, this proposal.
